PROPERTY MANAGEMENT R E A L E S TAT E E VA L U AT I O N S MR. DENIS HUBER ALEKSANDAR SASA DJORDJEVIC DRAGAN DZAJIC EUROPEAN HERITAGE DAYS FILM ARCHIVES MR. NEBOJSA BRADIC Editorial B elgrade is the city that lasts through ages. Rulers, armies, builders and destroyers have been changing in it, and today the part of that history is visible in many places. Yet, what cannot be seen but felt by everybody, even by those who are in this city for the first time, is the unusual blend of spiritual similarities and differences. No wonder since representatives of many nations and confessions live in Belgrade and they all have in common that unusual emotional attitude towards this city that is neither the most beautiful, nor the biggest or the most modern in the world but still has that miraculous energy and charm that turn it into one of the eligible capitals in this part of the world. Therefore it has officially been awarded the name City of the Future in Southern Europe. From its first issue our magazine has been searching for collocutors who solve the secret of the Belgrade life. So, in the autumn issue there are several interviews with the people who are well known all over the world. Those are the former football star Dragan Dzajic and magic basketball player Aleksandar Djordjevic. Talking about Belgrade are also famous theatre director Nebojsa Bradic and Denis Huber, Head of the Council of Europe Mission to Serbia. Beside all mentioned, VOS MAGAZINE offers again an overview of the luxurious apartments and houses that can be rented or bought. There is also an exclusive offer for the apartment short rent as well as for locations that could be attractive for investors.

DENIS HUBER, HEAD OF THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE MISSION TO SERBIA Something in Between Paris and Rio Mr. Denis Huber playing at the Belgrade concert dedicated to Georges Brassens When I compare Belgrade with other cities I notice it has European metropolises’ spirit and tradition, and liveliness, hilarity and fast economic growth characteristic for the Brazilian ones. The Brazilians and your people have also one more thing in common – passion for football and you both have Marakana 4 I n May this year Serbia took over the six-month Chairmanship of the Committee of (Foreign) Ministers of Council of Europe (CoE) that comprises the Foreign Affairs Ministers of all 46 member states (in the meantime Montenegro has become the 47th), or their permanent diplomatic representatives in Strasbourg, where the headquarters of the oldest European organization is located. Therefore Belgrade has become the host to many political, cultural and other events linked to the CoE and got its chance to show the world its best bright side – open, friendly, hospitable, cosmopolitan. Serbia’s successful presentation to the CoE Committee of Ministers – the chance Serbia will again have only in 25 years time – was realized in good part thanks to the man who, in October 2006, became the Head of the Council of Europe Mission to Serbia and distinguished himself during his successful longstanding work as the chief administrative member of the Secretariat of the Committee of Ministers responsible to help the Chairman in political matters and relations with media. Frenchman Denis Huber, who is at the same time Special Representative of the CoE Secretary General in Serbia, has also brought to Belgrade his wife Florance, sons Nathan (10) and Leo (8) and fifteen-months old daughter Lola (“we call her bebica, in Serbian, says Mr. Huber“). The oldest daughter from the first marriage Louise (20) has made useful combination of pleasure and work this summer. As a student of the international trade, she has spent 2.5 months on practical work at the Belgrade hotel “Hyatt.“ She has also taken an advantage of that time to get to know Belgrade with the help of her father. As the French, after her father, and the Brazilian, after her mother, Louise discovered in Belgrade that exciting blend of the two milieus, says Mr. Huber admitting himself that the Serbian capital resembles Paris by its cosmopolitanism and historical heritage and Rio de Janeiro by temperament and liveliness. What are the things you appreciate the most about Belgrade and what are those that bother you? How do you and your family find the life in this city? “Here I like people the most - cordial, hospitable and attentive towards newcomers. This is the opinion that both my family and I have. Citizens of Belgrade and Belgrade smell of dynamics, they are full of life. Everywhere in the city I see young people. Statistically Serbia does not have so many young people as you may think when you meet them in the streets, restaurants, parks…“ “In Belgrade we also feel very safe, me, my wife and children. We had never had any unpleasantness or heard of such things from our acquaintances, colleagues or friends. It’s great that here everybody can walk through the city day or night! This is surely the biggest surprise for strangers who come to Serbia with prejudices acquired during the Milosevic regime and violent clashes in this area. I am glad Belgrade is in the Center of the region so that my children can travel around and get to know the countries of the region. We can shortly reach any place by car, although the roads are not the best ones.“ “There are two things in Belgrade that bother me – traffic chaos and pollution. The Serbs are very aggressive, careless drivers who do not obey the traffic rules. Even after a year spent here I am still surprised. Of course, consequences of this are frequent traffic accidents. That is why the car insurance is so expensive. Therefore I do not allow my sons to drive bicycles round the city, the thing they were used to do in France. Here there are no bicycle lanes and it’s really dangerous to drive alongside the careless drivers.“ “It is interesting the women drivers also behave the same as men. In France women have the reputation as better, careful drivers who have averagely less accidents.“ “The other thing that bothers me and that I can never be used to is the air that is extremely polluted and cleanliness that is not at the desirable level, especially in the city surroundings. The Germans and the Swiss would be horrified! I do not dare to swim in the Danube or Sava Rivers, although I spend most of the time with my family outdoors, by the rivers.“ How would you describe Belgrade to your French friends? What places would you recommend them to visit, what food to try? Is there something you would suggest them to avoid? I would describe Belgrade as a very interesting city with really long and rich past that is testified by the numerous historical and cultural monuments, archeological sites, architecture… I would describe it as a city full of energy, that lives 24 hours a day, with restaurants and shops open the whole day long and even till the late at night, where the people are friendly and gay and know how to enjoy life. Here there is everything an educated, civilized European citizen would wish for: good theatre plays, great music, delicious food and drinks, various places to go out, for a walk and excursions, amazing nature… There is no friend of ours who left Belgrade dissatisfied and dashed. 5 On the contrary. What they have seen and experienced was enough to make them forget suspicion and prejudices they possibly came with and wish to come back again.“ “What I would suggest everybody to see by all means in Belgrade is the Kalemegdan Park. Then I would advise a backward time trip and getting to know Belgrade as a prehistoric settlement that was a part of the Roman, and after that, the Ottoman empires, as a capital of one, and then the other Serbian kingdom, the capital of the ’big’ Yugoslavia (SFRJ), the place that lived through many war destructions, was ruined by the Nazi bombing in the Second World War and not so long ago by the NATO bombing…“ “There are a lot of restaurants in Belgrade that offer various foods for every taste, with different and pleasant ambience and various prices so that everybody can afford it. We like Serbian national cuisine (children like cevapcici the most) and the only objection we have is that all the dishes are too fat and heavy for our taste and with too much meat. Kafanas lack better offer of vegetables.“ “Therefore we preferably eat in the ’Iguana’ restaurant whose owner likes to make us pleasant surprises with his imaginative creations. We also frequent ’Stara koliba’ on the Sava River, ’Little Bay’ on Dorcol and ’Casa d’ Italia,’ and when we wish to eat some exotic food we go to the Chinese restaurant ’Mao Tao’ or the Mexican ’Zapata.’ French food is best prepared at home and especially by my wife.“ What is your favourite part of Belgrade? Where do you go out in your free (private) time? What are the places in this town that your children like the most? “My favourite part of the city, beside historic places, is by all means Kosutnjak where I often go for a walk with my family, and of course Kalemegdan. My children particularly like the Zoo (maybe not so big, but at the nice place and with various animals) and Military Museum where they climb cannons for hours.“ “We regularly go to the Diplomatic Club in Banjica where we socialize with friends and colleagues and swim in the pool.“ What is your favourite Serbian word? “Two of them that we most frequently utter at home: ’hajde’ and ’moze’.“ This year, during the Serbian presidency of the Committee of Ministers of the CoE, you have had the opportunity to meet various people and see different Belgrade. What are your main impressions? “Since Serbia has taken over the sixmonth Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the CoE I have really met and had a chance to cooperate with great number of people, among them mostly politicians and civil servants, but also artists and ordinary people at national and local level. I have established perfect relationships with all of them, at professional and often personal level. Although the Serbian political system is closer to the American than the French one (in the USA civil servants change with governments, and in France professionals remain in Mr. Huber with his daughter Lola - “bebica” 6 administration), there was no problem regarding the cooperation with the CoE even after the takeover.“ “I have been lucky to be the chief to an exquisite team in the Belgrade CoE office and I’ve had pleasure of meeting an array of painters, musicians and other artists from Serbia who I highly esteem (for example, painters Cile, who exhibits in Paris, and Milija Belic from Lazarevac, as well as the musician Vojislav Djukic from the group ’S vremena na vreme’). Therefore I was not always in the position to talk only Kosovo, The Hague and political issues.“ As a diplomat you have travelled around the world. How would you compare Belgrade with other cities you have lived in? “The Council of Europe activities are mainly going on in the organization headquarters in Strasbourg (some of them, not so often, in Lisbon, Brussels, Graz and Budapest) so that I was not so much away from France. I have spent the longest time in Brazil. Therefore when I compare Belgrade with other cities I notice it has European metropolises’ spirit and tradition, and liveliness, hilarity and fast economic growth characteristic for the Brazilian ones. The Brazilians and your people have also one more thing in common – passion for football. You even have Marakana in Belgrade. If there would be a single common characteristic between Frenchmen and Serbs – what would it be? “I would say we share several common characteristics. The first one being the machismo: in both countries it is very strong. The second one is the Southern temperament. We are not so strict in obeying rules like the Northerners. Third, we both have hard and rich history that we are strongly attached to. Both here and in France the past is very important and has influence on the present. The question is – how to deal with it. We did it more successfully as can be seen through our reconciliation with the Germans.“ “Finally, both Frenchmen and Serbs adore good music, although we have never won the ’Eurosong’ contest.“ ALEKSANDAR SASA DJORDJEVIC - ONE OF THE BEST PLAYMAKERS EVER IN THE HISTORY OF BOTH SERBIAN AND EUROPEAN BASKETBALL Metropolis of Charm with the Sports Brand The greatest value of the basketball Belgrade are the courts between buildings where the “basket“ is played T he status and reputation that Sasa Djordjevic enjoys among the sport fans is such that no one can compromise his place in the gallery of great men in any way. He was the member of the Belgrade “Partizan“, Italian “Philips“ and “Teamsystem“ clubs, NBA’s “Portland“, the best Spanish Barcelona teams and the “Real“ Madrid… He was the champion and the Yugoslav National Cup winner, as well as the two-time Spain champion. His famous last-second three-point shots in the game with the Spanish “Joventut“ have secured triumph for “Partizan“ in the European Cup and fame and place in the Serbian and European basketball history for himself. He has played 108 games in the national team jersey. Among the treasure medals Sasa Djordjevic can also boast with the Olympic Games silver, World Championship gold and even the three best decorations won at the Old Continent championship. He has retired from professional basketball on July 4, 2005 with an exhibition game in front of the home crowd in the Belgrade sports hall “Pionir“. He played his farewell game that was even greater thanks to 60 basketball legends, his co-players and once fierce opponents, who came from all over the world to play in his honour. He left the court with the tears in his eyes but he remained in basketball as a coach. Last year he was named head coach of one of his former teams, “Armani Jeans Milano“. He is the most possible candidate who could replace Zoran Moka Slavnic in the place of the national team coach. He is one of the best playmakers ever in the history of the both Serbian and European basketball. Fascinating technique, wonderful grace, leadership lucidity and an extraordinary preciseness made him leave permanent trace in each team he played in. Aleksandar Djordjevic is also one of the founders of the humanitarian organization “Group Seven“, one of the UNICEF ambassadors of good will, and the “Belgrade Marathon“ Board of Directors President. The Belgrade citizens speak about him with affection and love and great respect – he is a gentleman, dandy, urban legend… Emotions are reciprocal - Sasa also respects Belgrade and its citizens. Asked about what he likes the most in his hometown he promptly replies: “All that makes Belgrade the Belgrade. It is unique and in many things unrepeatable. I love its people as much as its way of living. In fact, I am proud of what I have just uttered because it is not just my personal emotion but the fascination of each and every well-intentioned person who comes to the Serbian capital, intentionally or by chance. Two mighty rivers, marvelous beauty of the mouth where the Danube embraces the Sava River, mystic Kalemegdan Fortress or the sublime character of the Saint Sava’s Cathedral are the images that are memorized forever. Stroll down the Knez Mihailova Street turns into a small holiday and even bigger pleasure. Nowhere in the world is there a street with such a serenity and gaiety. A street with so many smiles. Belgrade is the metropolis of charm and also of the spirit authenticity that makes it, in incredibly discrete way, different from other big and equally interesting world metropolises. Also the past of this city, its history and everything it went through, make it the giant in comparison 7 to other similar ones that are not familiar with Golgotha of several centuries’ conquests, devastations and destructions. Therefore, there is not one thing in Belgrade, the street or the neighbourhood I love. I love everything that is Belgrade.“ How big was the sport’s contribution for such Belgrade to become the European Center? “Immeasurably great. Belgrade is definitely the city of sport and successful athletes and this is exactly what makes me, personally, happy and proud – the knowledge sport and sportspeople are a kind of the trade mark of my city, its brand. Belgrade honours and appreciates winners. We are, in fact, the people who loves everyone being against it and the one that feels very happy beating ’the whole world’. In sport we had chances to win even when the opponents were better, more powerful. And we were extremely happy for Belgrade and Serbia experiencing it as their great satisfaction.“ Since you say Belgrade is the city of the successful sportspeople, tell us who are those who impressed you the most? “With regard to sport Belgrade has really something to boast with. As a boy I used to admire the basketball skill of Kicanovic, Slavnic, Dalipagic… My heroes were also the ’Metaloplastika’ handball and national team players Vujovic, Vukovic, Isakovic… I have respected football masters in the ’Red Star’ jersey, but as a ’Partizan’ fan I was sure there was no better player than the black-and-white captain Momcilo Moca Vukotic. I was also proud of the Belgrade citizen Nenad Stekic’s European record in the long jump. I admired the ’Partizan’ water polo players who ravaged Europe, national water polo team… Yet, my sport is the basketball. Therefore, if I have to single somebody out that would be the basketball players generation I have played with and experienced all the joys and sorrows that make sport so great – Divac, Danilovic, Paspalj…“ In a way the basketball is the identity card of urban Belgrade you belong to. Do you agree with this? “Absolutely. With their ideas and work, Bora Stankovic, Nebojsa Popovic, Radomir Rasa Saper, Aleksandar Aca Nikolic and their followers have made Belgrade the capital of not only Serbian and Yugoslav but also the European basketball that has become very valuable. The city pride was that wonderful ’OKK Belgrade’ that was led by the legendary Radivoje Korac. ’Red Star’ has become the powerful club and ’Partizan’ also. The state champion was the unforgettable team of the basketball charmers from the Belgrade neighbourhood named Red Cross with well-known Raznjatovic, Ivkovic, Jaric, Damjanovic, Maroevic…The group of around hundred and even more Belgrade clubs’ players were the most powerful part of the Yugoslav national team that has reached the very top of the world. Belgrade has also given coaches as the famous Professor Nikolic, Ranko Zeravica, brothers Ivkovic, Zeljko Obradovic, Boza Maljkovic. Once the basketball temple was the New Belgrade Sports Hall, and today it is ’Pionir’. Tomorrow it will probably be ’Arena’. Nevertheless, the greatest value of the basketball Belgrade are the courts between buildings where the ’basket’ is played.“ Which of the numerous memories that link you to Belgrade would you single out? 8 “Everything that I have experienced while playing in the ’Partizan’ jersey – black-and-white titles and all the breathtaking welcome parties after our national team successes. I will personally remember this as long as I am alive. Those were the moments I was extremely proud of being the citizen of Belgrade and even more of the fact my Belgrade knew how to respect those big sport successes. That is something I wish every athlete could experience in the future - the moment when you become aware that the whole city has come to bow to you.“ What is that that makes the spirit of Belgrade – its people, night life, geographic location, culture, history? “Belgrade is the specificum and all that you have listed makes it as such. There is probably something more that makes that invisible city pore, known and recognizable maybe only to the citizens of Belgrade who are proud of their great and openhearted city. Geographic location is possibly the biggest reason for numerous conquerors struggling to reign the city on the banks of the Rivers Sava and Danube, the city whose back is guarded by the beautiful Mount Avala, the city where two civilizations border. That is why the history of Belgrade is something special. This is the place where the culture of the East and West permeate and miraculously mix not only in architecture and food but also in everyday life, practice, customs…“ In case you have to persuade a stranger to live in Belgrade what would you use as a key argument? “First of all, the stranger will shortly stop feeling as such. This is very important for somebody who intentionally or accidentally becomes the citizen of a new city. We, who for the sake of sport or the business we are in had to live for shorter or longer period in some foreign country, are those who are aware of this the best. Belgrade knows how to adopt, embrace and make the Belgrade citizen of everyone who steps on its streets. According to unwritten rules it gives the foreigner the best it has, the part of itself. And that is Belgrade. Most of the other cities are not like the Belgrade is!“ Z. Secerov RESTAURANT “PORTO MALTESE” 52, Francuska St., Tel: 322 5624 Get a Sense of a Sea Adventure T he endeavour to turn one part of Belgrade’s Tax Free Zone near the Danube, in 52, Francuska Street, into an Ali Baba’s cave with delicacies was exceptionally well received. Everything was new, and yet so familiar, like a scene from a summer holiday. The interior is even today an essential feature of every Porto restaurant. Within short time, Porto became a favourite both among students and diplomatic corps, businessmen and artists, among all those who enjoy their meals as true hedonists would. And they want it to be plentiful. The rest is a story about a very balanced development strategy of a businesman Dusan Radovic. Restaurants in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rome, are just a confirmation that Porto franchise is an excellent investment for those who see restaurant management as a good business PORTO restaurants are gastronomic oases, a breath of fresh Mediterranean air in the everyday culinary offer. They all have a common philosophy and atmosphere, from Belgrade, through Moscow to St. Petersburg. Porto is a Mediterranean choice of food and wine, Gems in “Porto” treasury: -Guilthead sea bream - Sparus aurata -Sea bass - Dicentrarchus labrax -Dentex - Dentex dentex -Scorpion fish - Scorpaena scrofa -Sole - Pegusa impar -Frogfi sh - Lophius piscatorius -Red mullet - Mullus barbatus -John Dory (Saint Pierre) - Zeus faber -The price of fi sh varies from 25-40 euros per kg. All fish can be prepared in one of these ways: -Grilled -Boiled, in water -On paper (with vegetables) -Baked in the oven, with potatoes with all the distinctive qualities of Boka, reasonable prices and more than ample portions. It is a restaurant where even the most demanding and fastidious customers, used to exclusive seafood restaurants, as well as those people who are just beginning to get to know the charms of seafood cuisine feel equally good. They say it is easy to eat healthy food when there’s fi sh on the table. Why it is so, everyone who sets eyes on the fine catch from the sea knows. At the most prominent place in the restaurant, near the kitchen, glittering on the ice, it lies exposed to our view, as if it hadn’t been only yesterday the part of an endless blue of Ionian, Adriatic or Tyrrhenian Sea. The main characteristic of Porto restaurants is that there is an everyday menu and the daily menu which depends on the catch and your wishes. Fish and marine delicacies are displayed as one gastronomic gallery. The choice is yours. You decide both on the size of the portion and the way in which it is to be prepared. Fish and all shell fish can be ordered in portions of 100gr or in quantities you are in the mood for. This makes us unique. Restaurant Porto Belgrade, after being fully redecorated, was opened on February 9th 2004. It possesses the old well-known atmosphere, but with new fine upgrades such as lighting, interior and the offer. The kitchen is also new, completely renovated and optimised to fulfil the demands of numerous guests during the day. After more than a year lasting renovation of the pool, the langoustes again occupy the restaurant aquarium and part of the attractive off er on our guests’ tables. As regards the wine card we especially point out extraordinary Italian wines at the prices one fi nds hard to resist. In Belgrade some of these wines you can only taste in Porto. The novelty is that the guests sitting in the lower part of the restaurant, on famous and traditional Porto benches get a 10% discount. That in Porto you can have the best espresso in town is no news for our regular customers. For others and for those who come for the first time it is just another reason to come again. 9 SERBIA AND THE EUROPEAN HERITAGE DAYS The Beauty of the Miroslav’s Gospel 10 10 The oldest Serbian medieval manuscript written in the last quarter of the 12th century, since 2005 on the UNESCO list, has been presented to the citizens of Belgrade A t the end of September, at the ceremony in the Belgrade Saint Sava’s Cathedral, Serbia joined the European Heritage Days manifestation that is being held in the whole Europe. The 12th century Gospel was put on display in the special capsule placed in the Cathedral’s central part. This precious manuscript that gives evidence of the Serbian medieval spirituality has gathered in the Vracar Cathedral all the representatives of the cultural community, prelates and corpse diplomatic members. Through the glass showcase visitors were able to see two pages of the Miroslav’s Gospel with drawn miniatures. The old manuscript has initiated more happenings in the St. Sava’s Cathedral, such as the techniques of calligraphy, mosaic, miniatures and paintings presented by the Serbian Orthodox Church Academy students. For short the inside of the Cathedral has been turned into the workshop for the book binding and gilding experts, miniature engraving masters Dobrivoje and Miodrag Vucicevic, sculptor Bojana Minic and lapidary Milan Jovkovic. Day and night the artists have been doing frescoes, icons, mosaics, carving stone and wood, copying miniatures and writing Gospel in calligraphy. The Miroslav’s Gospel represents local culture in the European manifestation not only because it is the oldest Serbian illustrated Cyrillic manuscript written in the Old Church Slavic but also because it is the symbol of the link between Serbia and the European culture. Decorations on its pages resemble the orthodox Slavs’ ornaments and the miniature aesthetics belongs to the Mid-Italian style. In 2005 the Gospel was entered into the UNESCO list of cultural heritage of the universal importance for the mankind – the programme named “Memory of the World.“ Until the Belgrade National Museum completion of reconstruction, the oldest Serbian medieval manuscript will be kept in the National Library of Serbia. 11 DRAGAN DZAJIC – BEST FOOTBALLER EVER IN THE RED STAR Skadarlija Bowles Everybody Over All the smells of the former bohemian Belgrade, cobble stone, good wine and tasty food, authentic music, pastry hearts and people beaming with good humour are the real experience for most foreigners D ragan Dzajic is the football and sports icon of Serbia. He is the best footballer ever in the “Red Star,“ Serbia, and former Yugoslavia. In many opinion polls his name was in the “club of the hundred best European and world players of the 20th century.“ During thirteen seasons (1963-1975 and 19771978) he has spent in the jersey of the “Red Star“ with which he has won five National Champion titles and three Cups, he has played 590 fixtures and scored 287 goals. He is the favourite and idol of millions of fans. As an international footballer he has played for the France’s Bastia (1975 - 1977). Tall with long stride, extremely fast… distinctive lefthander. Grand master of dribbles that have ended in central-kicks with millimetre precision. Scorer and perfect realizer of free kicks. He has shaken down the goals of the best world goalkeepers. For the Yugoslav national team, which he has led 53 times as the captain, he has played 85 fixtures and scored 23 goals. He has also been remembered as the best in the Yugoslav selection that was the European vice-champion in Italy in 1968. His goal during the 12 semi-final fixture with the English can still be seen at the beginning of many sports TV broadcasts. He has also participated in the 1974 World Championship in Germany. As an extremely attractive footballer he has played five times for various European and world selections (against Brazil in Rio in 1968, in Lisbon in 1970, in Moscow in 1971, in Homburg and Basel in 1972). Upon the career completion he remained in the club where he had acquired name and reputation. He had long been the Sports Director and after that the President of the most popular Serbian football group that has won the greatest number of trophies. He is the creator of the project that has brought the “Red Star“ the European Champion title in 1991. In the same year, led by Mr. Dragan Dzajic at their helm, Belgrade red-and-whites won the International “Toyota Cup“ that made them the best 1991 world team. That was the best year ever in the history of this club founded on March 4, 1945. You are the citizen of Belgrade as long as the member of the “Red Star“. This is the period that can be measured by decades, isn’t it? “That’s right. From my birthplace Ub, small town several dozens of kilometres far away from the capital, I came to Belgrade as a 16 year-old boy. At that time I could have not dreamed of being the part of the ’Star’ for exactly 42 years with the exception of two years that I have spent in France. I am also the citizen of Belgrade, but for a longer period. This is the city where I live happily with my family, surrounded by fiends and, I admit, I love it very much. It was a metropolis even back in 1962 when I first came as a talented football player. It was a big and a little bit mystic city I lived in completely day and night. It is incomparably bigger today and much nicer – literally the metropolis. When I describe it to the people who have never visited it I say Belgrade is the city with the biggest soul in the world.“ Currently you don’t have everyday obligations and have enough free time. How do you spend it? “I must confess I enjoy in everything. Work in the ’Red Star’ was a very demanding one that was consuming all the time both during the week and the weekends. Now I plan my day calmly. I still get up very early and do my morning rituals including exercise. I also have my family obligations – I enjoy spending more time with my daughters, taking them to school and back home. I have more time for going out and we all often go somewhere for lunch or dinner, to visit friends, to a concert or theatre. What I never skip are long walks with my good friends. Where do we go? To Kosutnjak that has perfect footway in the vicinity of the city Center and most often to Ada, sometimes in the morning or early evening or even late evening. Of course, a part of the day is dedicated to the people ’we can’t live without’ and small-talks with them.“ You have many acquaintances and friends. When those from far away come to visit you where do you take them? “It’s never the same. It depends on who they are. But there is one thing they all have in common – the lack of time and therefore it’s impossible to show them everything you want in Belgrade in a couple of days. They all want to see the Kalemegdan Park and Knez Mihailova Street. Thanks to its history, fortress, gates, Roman Well and monuments Kalis is the real fascination for everybody. Knez Mihailova Street is something else. Probably because of the prejudices they came with they all admit to have been pleasantly surprised not believing Belgrade has something like that – the street that is in many things better and more beautiful than the similar ones in the European and world metropolises. I must also confess that Knez Mihailova is the part of the city that every citizen of Belgrade can proudly show to any European. And, moreover, if you end the day in Skadarlija… It bows everybody over. All the smells of the former bohemian Belgrade, cobble stone, good wine and tasty food, authentic music, pastry hearts and people beaming with good humour are the real experience for most foreigners that is remembered forever.“ You point out Belgrade is different from many European cities you have visited. What is so distinctive that it has? “Belgrade is distinctive by itself, different from the other cities and this is good. In fact, I don’t like comparing it with some other cities because they do not share the same destiny. Today Belgrade would have been incomparably more beautiful, even architecturally, hadn’t it been destroyed, demolished and again rebuilt and brought to life. What we have to be proud of is the fact that Belgrade has outlived all that defying history that has been so merciless towards the Balkans whose heart is our city. But the greatest value of Belgrade are its people who are the spitting image of the city that manages to rise above all the mishaps that have come upon it with its optimism and miraculous power of will.“ “Belgrade really is Europe and its citizens are Europeans more than Europe can even imagine. But it does admit that when it comes to Belgrade and get to know the Belgrade inhabitants.“ Do you agree Belgrade is one of the European cities also thanks to sport you belong to? “Absolutely. Both sport in global way and athletes individually have made the name of Belgrade written in capital letters on the European sports map. Not only because the successes achieved at the greatest sports competitions but also thanks to the fact that Belgrade is really the sport city with structures that even the richer can envy us. ’Arena’ is one of the most beautiful halls in this part of Europe, ’Star’s’ stadium is the biggest in the Balkans, Ada and the Belgrade rivers are the ideal proving ground for the water sports… Thanks to the ’Universiade 2009’ many existing arenas will be revitalized and the new ones constructed. Belgrade deserves this all the more so since we are well known in the sports world after great organizational capabilities in sports events no matter the world, European or Balkan ones.“ Zoran Secerov 13 14 KINOTEKA (FILM ARCHIVES) - MUSEUM OF THE GLOBAL IMPORTANCE The Guardian of the Film History Beside the collection of 85,000 film copies and 22,000 books there is also the Lumière brothers camera Yugoslav Film Archives with its film archives of the global importance is the real jewel among the Belgrade cultural institutions. It was founded in 1949 and after several years only it acquired reputation that no museum of the then Yugoslavia had. It is one of the founders and the permanent member of the FIAF (International Federation of Film Archives). It has been actively taking part in the FIAF activities since 1951. Today, before all, the Film Archives is recognizable after the cinema in the city Center. Beside this, film connoisseurs from the whole Europe, including the authors such as Theo Angelopoulos, Jirzi Mencl, Nikita Mihalkov, Ken Russell or Vim Venders have been coming here knowing the Archive was the guardian of the great treasure. Its guests have been Akira Kurosawa and Alfred Hitchcock. The Yugoslav Film Archives film fund makes one of the most important and most comprehensive film collections in Europe. There are more than 85,000 copies of silent, sound, black-andwhite and colour films of most diverse formats, on inflammable (nitrate) and uninflammable tapes. Foreign film collection, that creates more than eighty percent of the Yugoslav Film Archives fund, consists of all the world film history most valuable works. In the Yugoslav film fund kept are the most important archive material and documentaries linked with the territory of the former Yugoslavia, starting with the 1904 film “Krunisanje Kralja Petra I Karadjordjevica “, the oldest one preserved. Books have also been preserved here. The library has 22,000 copies, photographs, posters and other things such as the original camera of the Lumière brothers who have marked the history of the film art. All this is available for visitors. Thanks to its reputation, the Archives was awarded the French government donation in the amount of 460,000 euros for the construction of the most modern depot where the valuable film tapes From the guest book are kept. The Japanese government also invested 70,000 euros in the Archives, and the European Agency for Development big donation of two million euros is yet to come. The Archives is the big school of film. During decades cycles of great directors, actors or national cinematographies were shown in its cinema. This autumn the collection of Ingmar Bergman’s and Michelangelo Antonioni’s achievements will be on in the Archives cinema. Many anecdotes and strange stories have been connected to the Archives. Permanent pursuit for films that have vanished during the hundredyear history of this art brought many film makers to Belgrade. Here have been revealed works of the German cinematography dating from the period of silent film, and also recently five films that have been missing, according to the Hungarian experts. During the Soviet intervention in Czechoslovakia in 1968, big collection of films of Jirzy Mencl, Vera Hitilova, Milos Forman and other directors from the golden era of the Czechoslovakian film was sent to Belgrade for safekeeping. Later, as a sign of gratefulness, the Czech Film Archives gave this collection as a present to Belgrade. The Archives is situated in the city Center, in Kosovska Street. It has been one of the most visited Belgrade cinemas during the last five decades. Belgrade audience considers it the cultural icon of the Serbian capital. The ticket line for some film cycles used to be several hundred metres long. Therefore it is not strange that it has brought up great number of the film art connoisseurs and was the first school where the most important Serbian film artists have grown up. V.

Love Forever Whatever the smells, colours and sounds from the new travels are, Belgrade is unique and returning to it means getting back to the childhood, wishes that led me to the world of art, to unforgettable memories of people who left traces on my growing up, education and maturing 44 MR. NEBOJSA BRADIC, THE BELGRADE DRAMA THEATRE DIRECTOR I t seems that believing in art is Mr. Nebojsa Bradic’s motto. He considers that the artists should educate us how to protect ourselves from the impacts of everyday life vulgar forms. He tends to search traditional but also contemporary. He has realized numerous projects as a director and also as the Belgrade Drama Theatre seven years Director. Our collocutor is well-known for courageously choosing his coworkers and creating the repertoire of the theatre in the Belgrade neighbourhood Crveni krst (Red Cross). Besides Serbian classics, Selimovic, Pekic, Andric, Mr. Bradic at the same time stages the world authors – Bond, Koljada, Ostermayer, Hibner, and Jelinek. He has directed some sixty plays in Serbian, Bosnian, and Croatian theatres. With Ms. Aja Jung he has brought to life Belgrade Dance Festival that, just after four years of existence, has turned from the regional character review into the European and even world one thanks to the ballet troupes that have their guest performances and come from Biarritz, Prague, Cologne, Israel, Brazil, Sweden… Belgrade has got glamorous dance festival Europe has been interested in more and more and prestigious German magazine “Ballettanz“ has described as “the most important dance event in the South-East Europe.“ Our collocutor is also one of those who have initiated the Danube Odyssey 2007, that has been organized by the International Institute for Mediterranean Theatre (IITM), UNESCO and the Council of Europe, to stop in Belgrade and that way make us the part of the Mediterranean countries network that are being connected by the IITM headquartered in Madrid. Mr. Nebojsa Bradic was born in Trstenik and has graduated from the Belgrade Faculty of Drama Arts. He opened the doors of the big Belgrade theatres in 1996 when, upon leaving the place of the Director of the Krusevac Theatre that he had made one of the leading home theatres, he became the Director of the National Theatre and subsequently of the Atelje 212. At the helm of the Belgrade Drama Theatre he came in 1999. Sponsors and protectors have promptly gained confidence in this theatre thanks to the repertoire with numerous hit plays that captured the attention of the theatregoing public. The result was also the quality cooperation with embassies and foreign cultural Centers in Belgrade. In Belgrade he feels like a Belgrade-born and says: “I love Belgrade because it reminds me of my youth - it is so special, free and its own master. The feeling of belonging and adequacy I feel only in it although Belgrade is not my hometown. Love forever happened at the first encounter, when long ago, even before going to school, I have been spending my summers in it, meeting my first friends and going for sight correction at hearty and amusing a lady-doctors’ who I still remember gladly. The first experience of discovering big and ancient city was acquired right here and after each trip to other metropolises I recheck it, make it richer and praise it. Whatever the smells, colours and sounds from the new travels are, Belgrade is unique and returning to it means getting back to the childhood, wishes that led me to the world of art, to unforgettable memories of people who left traces on my growing up, education and maturing. The most important factor that has influenced the shaping of my personal and professional identity is, in fact, Belgrade itself: openhearted, multicultural, and passionate city. It makes the part of myself as well as I am its part and only in it I am – myself the most.“ “I love the people in Belgrade. Those who know how to listen and track their own feelings, to be wayward and warm, to become fateful friends and fans, as well as worthy opponents and fearless critics. Citizens of Belgrade have that authentic feeling of freedom and fairness that, in spite of numerous hardships, still exists. Inhabitants of Belgrade are openhearted, affectionate and beautiful, passionate and never boring.“ Nevertheless, Belgrade has its faults. What about them? “I do not like chaos in Belgrade. That chaos is the product of the last years’ town-planning and traffic expansion. Ten years ago I enjoyed walking through the Vojvode Bogdana Street where I live. Today this is impossible. There are no more trees, small crafts shops, no flowers, no air, not an inch of free space – everything is crammed with cars, buildings that 45 are overlooking the street and taking away the skies, nervous people who do not recognize each other any more panicking the other one will strip them off that tiny space and freedom left. Our space and time are being jeopardized by the construction greediness in Belgrade that severely threatens to destroy the quality of life completely.“ What was the way you have been getting to know Belgrade, conquering it and how do you see the contrasts this city abounds with? “The best way to get to know Belgrade is through socializing with people who love it. Belgrade is by itself authentic and its own master. What make me happy are its numerous contrasts of various cultures and time époques. If you go down the wide and the longest Belgrade street, the one with double lanes and tram tracks in between, the capital’s King Aleksandar Boulevard, starting from the Smederevo road towards the Serbian Parliament, you have the feeling of going through several ages by passing several kilometres: houses that resemble the 19th century Serbia next to the hypermodern structures. Belgrade is also beautiful for it has still not been infected too much with globalization. I have nothing against shops like ’Zara,’ ’Mango,’ ’Benetton,’ or MacDonald’s fast-food chains, but I rather go to the shops and restaurants where one can recognize creativity and personal taste. Personality is one of very important characteristics of the Belgrade citizens and they realize it through the well-developed educational network of schools and faculties, as well as interaction with the cultural institutions and art manifestations such as Bitef, Bemus and the youngest among them, Belgrade Dance Festival.“ “Everywhere and always in Belgrade I feel fine. I feel the best with my family and friends but the same goes for the theatres I work in. I am happy about the town-planning and cultural revitalization of the Crveni krst, rise of the Belgrade Drama Theatre and my co-workers, new plays done by my colleague directors and new generation of actors. I have good feeling when in the theatre, in 46 the darkness behind the audience, I feel that fluid that connects actors on the stage and the audience. There, sitting, are extremely different social, educational and age categories but all of them are equally fascinated by the theatre miracle. I am currently working on a very demanding musical “Les Miserables“ by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg in Madlenianum that is a great challenge and new experience. The troupe consists of the people who are going to help me make the play that will change the principles and possibilities of the musical theatre here. Good feeling and mutual trust, accompanied by the hard work, promise good result no matter how complicated the task is.“ It seems that everybody in Belgrade has his/her “own place“, public or secret. What are your “sacred“ places? “I prefer to go to all Belgrade theatres, concerts held in ’Kolarac,’ and Belgrade Philharmonic, great jazz in Save Center, paintings exhibitions in Chaos Gallery. I frequent Belgrade restaurants among which I would single out ’Zaplet,’ ’Iguana,’ ’Madera,’ ’Konoba’ under the Pancevo bridge.“ The Serbian capital has always been open for strangers and it has been easily and willingly communicating with the world. What is the secret of that easiness? Belgrade is the city that has different layers created over the time. Discovering different Belgrades in this contemporary one makes the special experience for its old-timers as well as for foreigners. There are: Belgrade under Belgrade, Celtic Belgrade, Roman Belgrade, Serbian Belgrade, Ugric Belgrade, Turkish Belgrade, Austrian Belgrade, Jewish Belgrade, Greek-Tzintzar Belgrade, Belgrade of Dositej and Vuk, Belgrade of Saint Sava, Belgrade of Crnjanski, Andric and Pekic, Belgrade of those who were, are and will yet to come.“ “The ideas of the Belgrade cultural life are inseparably connected with its Balkan roots and European goals. Therefore in Belgrade you cannot feel the division between their and our. Foreigners have always been welcome partners in Belgrade culture. Without foreign support Belgrade Dance Festival would have not been possible and its citizens would have not had the chance of seeing leading individuals and troupes that represent all the diversity of the contemporary dance in the world. We had the pleasure to see Nederlands Dans Teater, Cullberg Ballet, national ballets from Madrid, Prague, Athens, Sofia… We hope to have such impulses and initiatives in future, too. In spite of the facts that our time is characteristic for its extremely fast changes in almost every sphere of life, changes that lead to uncertainty, loss of orientation, destabilization of moral norms and cultural values, Belgrade culture, with all its openness and vitality, survives and remains reliable support and beacon of our country’s European perspective.“ Marina Djuraskovic BRITISH INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL – EDUCATION RECOGNIZED IN 175 COUNTRIES Our Students Become the World Citizens Upon schooling completion students receive authentic British diplomas as if they were educated in England Q uality education is one of the most important assets of each person according to contemporary needs. Since its foundation, British International School enables its students in Belgrade to achieve qualifications recognized everywhere in the world. Ms. Aleksandra Keserovic, founder and Principal of BIS, explains for VOS Mediator that the BIS students upon schooling completion receive authentic British diplomas as if they were educated in England. “After the education completion in our school, students get diplomas that are recognized in 175 countries. Since our curriculum has been formally recognized by the British Ministry of Education and the University of Cambridge, even before the education completion the student has the possibility of continuing education in any international school all over the world. This is very important for the diplomatic corpse members’ and business people’s children who are in the situation to change the place of residence,“ explains Ms. Keserovic. The British National Curriculum guidelines in all subjects are followed in the Primary BIS that is attended by the children between 4 and 12, and the Secondary School where the students are from 12 to 18 years of age. Besides, BIS enables Secondary School students to attend classes that follow the American curriculum that has been worked out by the University of Nebraska, USA. The whole curriculum of this university is aimed at educating the complete personality of the child, from the emotional to the intellectual aspects. Classes consisting of 15 students enable individual teachers’ and professors’ work with students. “We are doing our best with each and every child to recognize all the virtues and talents, but also their weaknesses. Our goal is for each child to achieve his/her academic maximum. British curriculum encourages student to expand his/her creative and critical thinking. In the achievement tests we check what they have really understood and what amount of the knowledge they can apply in the real life,“ informs us the BIS Principal. Beside internationally recognized knowledge, students in this school also acquire flexibility and much better understanding of other cultures. “Our students become the world citizens. Thanks to socializing with the children from almost the whole world they become more tolerant and aware of other people’s problems. The fact that in the Primary School all the teachers come from the English speaking area and that in the Secondary School more than fifty percent of them are English native speakers surely contributes to the international spirit of our school. Great number of our students continues education at the universities all over Europe, some of them went to the USA and Canada, and a smaller percent go to the Serbian universities with the necessary diploma validation, “says Ms. Keserovic. In the course of education, by choosing optional subjects, with the help of their teachers, students direct their spheres of interest towards further university studying. At the recent BIS 10th anniversary also have been present former students who are at the universities or have already completed the Law, Medicine, BusinessEconomy, Management, Linguistics, Acting Studies… N.R. 47 BELGRADE RESTAURANTS - MADERA Autumn Culinary Magic A utumn has arrived into the Belgrade restaurant “Madera“ garden. In the nearby park paths covered with leaves are the first sign for the summer menu to be put aside and specialties characteristic for colder months to be offered to guests. Regulars know dishes that the winter in the Serbian traditional homes cannot be imagined without have already been prepared. First of all that is the sauerkraut used for making salad and podvarak – chopped sauerkraut browned in the oven and served with roast meat. Also unavoidable is ajvar that is, unlike other Belgrade restaurants, made in “Madera,“ on the spot. Finally, with the first cold days garden also closes its doors and guests move into the big restaurant’s twolevel hall. “Madera“ has long-standing tradition that can also be felt in the calm beauty of each moment spent here. As the restaurant’s manager Mr. Nebojsa Dapcevic says, first-class musicians, who change every night, are responsible for atmosphere. Duet, trio, violins, violoncello and guitars discretely fit into the atmosphere. 48 They play music that relaxes. And this is the reason one should decide going to a restaurant. But let’s abandon ourselves to Mr. Dapcevic’s suggestions and, to get started, have an appetizer such as “Zakuska Madera,“ comprised of fine local cheeses, smoked ham, ham, kajmak… And then the main course follows… “If we are talking about international cuisine, our foreign guests preferably order beefsteak. But if we have a chance to suggest national cuisine specialties, especially to those who are here for the first time, then we offer unavoidable dishes that have marked Serbian kafanas since the 19th century till today. Those are sarme, podvarak, tripe with parmesan, i.e. skembici. Twice a week ’Madera’ offers beans prepared in various ways. This sure is a special occasion and big reason to come here since this dish has vanished form the elite restaurants’ menus.“ Our collocutor says mulled wine and cooked brandy were once much sought for which is not the case any more. Nevertheless, its important place on the winter table have kept pihtije that guests can have every day till spring. Fish is also very popular especially during fast. “We adhere to the mores and shortly before the Christmas it is possible to order food containing no fat and even bread that is made in our bakery. For the fish lovers we indeed have exquisite offer – freshwater fish and the smoked trout that is a hit. Saltwater fish admirers can have sea perch, dentex, salmon, tuna… everything prepared in different ways.“ Mr. Dapcevic points out that some things have changed in “Madera“ under the influence of new customs. Guests stopped asking for ample meals. Instead, they ask for less but high quality food. Practices that are not usual for standard Belgrade restaurants have been changing in other spheres, too. It has become customary to have a glass of wine or a Cuban cigar after lunch or dinner. Novelty is also business lunch between noon and 2 p.m. when business people frequent the place. They have small meals and rarely consume alcohol drinks. MONEY TIME MACHINE – NATIONAL BANK OF SERBIA The First Dinar Forged in Silver in 1875 Since the middle 19th century Serbia used foreign countries money, mostly Turkish, Dubrovnik’s, Venetian, Austrian, Ugric, and also that time European monarchies’ ones T he National Bank of Serbia Visitor Center has won the annual Project of the Year award given by the National Committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM). Visitor Center Project consists of exhibition-related and educational activities that make a unique museum project. Opening its doors to the widest public, the National Bank of Serbia through its standing exhibition “Money in the Territory of Serbia“ has enabled its visitors to overview the money in use in the territory of Serbia from the time of its first appearance to the current monetary issues and enjoy in the ambience of one of the most beautiful buildings in Belgrade, dating from the 19th century, says the citation accompanying the award of the National Committee. The National Bank palace, located in 12, Kralja Petra Street, 49 is an architectural value of the city. According to some experts, this is the best realization of the Serbian academic architecture and belongs to the most monumental palaces constructed in Belgrade. It was built in 1890 and reconstructed and structurally extended in 1922 and 1925. The architect who originally designed the blueprint of the building and was entrusted with the task of extending the structure of the building was Mr. Konstantin A. Jovanovic, who also worked out blueprint for the interior design as well as all the details, doors, windows, decorations and furniture. The National Bank palace with its complete architectural design and inventory was declared the Serbian cultural monument of high importance. The pride of the older part of the building are the massive and elaborately decorated chandeliers and the sculptor Djordje Jovanovic’s gilded woman’s bust personifying Serbia that is proudly placed on the gallery overlooking the shell shaped main stairs. The newer part that is dominated by the big window-hall has the same style of rich decorations. The interior space abounds in artistic handicrafts made in wood, stone, cast and wrought iron. In July 2004, on the occasion of the 120th anniversary of the National Bank of Serbia, the window-hall has been enriched with the standing exhibition “Money at the Territory of Serbia“. Ms. Vesna Kovac, independent expertassociate in the NBS Information Center, points out: “By exhibiting the chosen examples from the National Bank of Serbia’s numismatic collection we have shown main flows of money at our territory. It is important to know that the Serbian territory through centuries was the space where numerous intensive historical events took place that had impact on the money circulating in that area.“ The best proof is the following: in historical view, Serbia had no national legal tender and as many as 43 foreign currencies were in circulation. “The standing exhibition offers the overview of the money in use in the territory of Serbia from the time of its first appearance to the current monetary issues.“ Following this conception, money has been exhibited in several groups: money of antiquity, medieval money, money of the new era, and national currency in the re-established Serbia… The oldest National Bank money exhibited dates back to the 4th century BC. It was coined by the Greek city-states and their findings at the territory of Serbia are the proof of the commercial contacts between the civilized Greeks and the barbaric tribes located in the Balkans area. Among the exhibits particular attention by their beauty attract the coins of the city-state of Athens and the Hellenistic Macedonian rulers Philip II and Alexander the Great. Roman money also belongs to the antique money. Its presence in this area is quite understandable since at the beginning of the 1st century AD almost the whole territory of present-day Serbia was included into the mighty Roman Empire. Therefore the Roman money, coined in gold, silver and bronze, became a part of everyday life of the citizens living on the conquered territories of Serbia. The Roman Republic coined its famous silver money – denar (denarius, in Latin) that is exceptional. The obverse of Roman coins always depicts the effigy of a ruler or member of the ruling family, while mythological and historical scenes are represented on the reverse. Medieval money is characterized by the presence of Byzantine money in the territory of present-day Serbia from the 5th to the 13th century. In an iconographic sense, Byzantine money with images of rulers and saints, most often Christ, conveys the main message of the unity of the divine and temporal power. The tradition of coining money in the medieval Serbian state began in the 13th century. This is the period when King Stefan Radoslav’s silver and copper coins were forged after the ones that had made Byzantine emperors. Money from the time of the Kingdom comprises money coined by King Stefan Dragutin and other rulers, while the Imperial period is represented by numerous issues of Emperor Dusan. Emperor Dusan’s “coronation dinar“ stands out by its importance and beauty. Until the mid-19th century the money used in the territory of today’s Serbia was that of foreign countries, mostly Turkey, but also Dubrovnik, Venice, Austria, Hungary and other European monarchies. On the Turkish money (Serbia was five centuries under the Turkish rule), in accordance with the Islamic tradition, predominate sultans’ ornaments and monograms. Austrian and Hungarian money are characterized by multitude of unusual denominations and numerous nominal values. During the reign of Prince Mihailo, more than four centuries after the last Serbian money was coined, the first copper coins were minted in the reestablished Serbia. It was in 1868. The first silver coins were struck in 1875, when the national currency – the dinar – was introduced. At the 1878 Berlin Congress Serbia’s full independence was formalized. A year later, in 1879, the first gold coins of 20 dinars were issued so that Serbia completely fitted into the Latin Monetary Union’s monetary standards and its money was exchanged in equal parity for the currency of the European monetary union’s state members. The issuing of paper money began with the foundation of the Privileged National Bank of the Kingdom of Serbia in 1884, when the first Serbian banknote was printed. Until 1918 the National Bank of the Kingdom of Serbia issued nine paper banknotes, the three of which were payable in gold and six in silver. It is interesting that those banknotes were printed in France and in Belgium and that the wording on them was in Serbian and French, the then diplomatic language of Europe. Female figure dominated on them, personifying Serbia and other images expressed local Serbian characteristics – from girls in national costumes to illustrations of the main branches of the then Serbian economy: handicraft trade, agriculture and cattle-breeding. The need for the “money factory“ was realized only in 1929 when the Printing Works in the Belgrade neighbourhood Topcider started operating after the French Works technology. The first issues with the reading “The Kingdom of Yugoslavia“ and the date of issue December 1, 1929 were the banknotes of 10 and 100 dinars (100 of each). During the audience, on January 17, 1931, according to tradition, the Governor Mr. Ignjat Bajloni, before putting them into circulation, handed them to His Majesty. Z.
